Feminist objectives are possible and have been achieved all around the world. Martha Burk, Ph.D., author of Your Voice, Your Vote, money editor for Ms Magazine, lists what is achievable:
* “I wish to live in a country like Norway, Spain, Germany and 13 others that have subsidized childcare. I wish to live in a country like Estonia, Sweden, Croatia and 38 others that have paid family leave.
* “I wish to live in a country like Britain, France, Israel, Belgium and Iceland, that have free and universal pre-kindergarten. I wish to be in a country like Liberia, Rwanda and South Africa, where people who are not white don’t have to fear law enforcement.
* “I wish to live in a country like Iceland, the Bahamas and Latvia, where women are closest to men in economic empowerment.
* “I wish to live in a country like France, Denmark, Italy and Canada that spend more on social services than they spend on military weaponry.
* “I wish to live in a country like Japan, India and Venezuela where parents don’t have to worry about their kids getting shot at school.
* “I wish to live in a country like Finland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, India, Germany, the Philippines, Norway, Ireland, Iceland and Bangladesh, where women are often heads of state.
* “I wish to live in a country like Austrailia, Argentina, Canada, China, Russia, Sweden and Greenland, where abortion is legal, safe and accessible.
* “I wish that the country I so wish to live in with all of these things would be the United States.”
